My dreams keep asking
    something of me.

    Some dreams refuse to fade upon waking.

    My dreams keep asking
    something of me.

    Some dreams refuse to fade upon waking.

    Some dreams refuse to fade upon waking. They return again and again. They linger for days. They carry a feeling that stays with you, even when you can’t explain why.

    Some dreams even feel like spirits visitations in other worlds.

    Settler culture often treats dreams as puzzles to solve or random brain activity to dismiss. We feel beholden to dream dictionaries as we try to decode their cryptic messages.

    Animism offers another possibility: Dreams aren’t just interesting. They’re participatory. They’re not looking for interpreters. They’re looking for participants.

    What if your dreams are conversations, not codes? What if, through dreams, you talk with the land? Your body? Your Ancestors? What if your dreams are a continuation of your day-time soul tending? 

    At Soul Intent Arts, dreams aren’t something to decode as much as they are relationships to tend. We learn to approach them with curiosity, patience, and discernment, allowing meaning to emerge over time rather than forcing an interpretation.

    You don’t have to understand every dream.

    You only have to begin listening.

    A Different Way of Looking at Your Dreams

    Where to

    begin

    Connect with your dreams as beings, living consciousness communicating with you. When you become aware of their personhood, you open deeper pathways of communnication and understanding within Self.

    You’re not

    alone

    Fifteen years of dreaming live in Undersong. Your experiences might already be witness there. You’ll find everything from lucid dreaming, nightmares, to spirit communication there.

    How animism
    fits

    Not certainty. Not belief.

    With animism, everything is alive–even our dreams. They are beings with consciousness and agency. When we can experience them as such, we engage them from a place of relationship rather than something to decode.

    The next
    step

    Remembering that who you are doesn’t turn off when you sleep. Your inner cosmology continues to foster you throughout the night, as much as the day. Select field notes are listed below to help you take your next step.

    Dream Conversations

    When we stop trying to
    find meaning in dreams,
    we enter their conversation.

    S. Kelley Harrell

    Animism. Experience. Reciprocity.

    I’m a lifelong lucid dreamer, and am convinced that active dreaming begins with daytime acceptance.
